[0058] like Figures 1-30 As shown, in a loading and unloading robot with two or more conveying arms, such as the automatic loading and unloading robot of the present invention, there are three parts: a front conveying device 18, a middle conveying arm 17, and a rear conveying arm 8. The front conveying device is movably connected to the middle conveying arm; the middle conveying arm is movably connected to the rear conveying arm through a universal joint 7; tensioning clamping devices are respectively provided on both sides of the front conveying device and / or both sides of the middle conveying arm and / or both sides of the rear conveying arm; during operation, the middle conveying arm generally needs to make various adjustment movements, while the rear conveying arm is mainly used for continuous conveying of goods. While ensuring the flexibility and smoothness of the movement of the middle conveying arm, the function of the rear conveying arm in conveying goods is not affected.
[0059] like Figures 1-8 and Figure 28As shown, in this embodiment, the rear conveyor arm 8 is movably connected to the front conveyor arm via a universal joint 7. The rear conveyor arm 8 is provided with a fixed conveyor belt assembly and a movable conveyor belt assembly 86. The movable conveyor belt assembly 86 includes a structural support 9. The main body of the structural support 9 is rectangular and is movably mounted on the rear conveyor arm 8. The structural support 9 is provided with a plurality of first conveyor belts 1 and first drive rollers. In this embodiment, two first conveyor belts 1 are provided, and the first drive rollers include a front first drive roller 11 and a rear first drive roller 14. The two sides of the front first drive roller 11 are respectively fixed to the C-shaped channel steel 6 on both sides by support plates 10. The C-shaped channel steel 6 is then fixed to the C-shaped channel steel 6 on both sides. A movable rod 5 is fixed to the outer side of the steel 6; the first transmission roller 14 on the rear side is fixed to the C-shaped channel steel 6 through the support plate 15; a number of guide blocks 4 are provided on the body of the rear conveyor arm 8 corresponding to the movable rod 5, and the movable rod 5 can be displaced on the guide blocks 4, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the movable conveyor belt assembly 86 relative to the rear conveyor arm 8. The rear end of the universal head 7 is connected to the structural support 9 of the movable conveyor belt assembly 86. Therefore, when the middle conveyor arm swings in all directions, it can ensure that the middle conveyor arm and the rear conveyor arm 8 are connected to each other without interruption, that is, maintain smooth front and rear transmission, without affecting the flexibility of the swing of the middle conveyor arm. The fixed conveyor belt assembly is fixed to the rear conveyor arm 8; the fixed conveyor belt assembly includes a plurality of second conveyor belts 2 and second drive rollers; the second drive rollers include a front second drive roller 13 and a rear second drive roller 12; the front second drive roller 13 and the rear second drive roller 12 are respectively fixed to the two side walls of the rear conveyor arm 8; in this embodiment, two first conveyor belts 1 are provided, and three second conveyor belts 2 are provided; as Figure 2 As shown, the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 are alternately arranged. During use, the two first conveyor belts 1 can achieve horizontal displacement relative to the three second conveyor belts 2, which are in a fixed state. This satisfies the swinging motion of the middle conveyor arm relative to the rear conveyor arm 8, ensuring that the middle conveyor arm can make corresponding positional adjustments according to the on-site working environment. When the middle conveyor arm swings, the structural support 9 will coordinate and make corresponding displacements, but the displacement of the structural support 9 will not affect the normal transport of goods on the rear conveyor arm 8. Overall, this improves the flexibility and stability of goods receiving and transporting. Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a first partition 3, which is disposed above the first conveyor belt 1 and below the upper conveyor belt of the second conveyor belt 2. Its main function is to improve the stability of the second conveyor belt 2 in conveying heavy objects.
[0060] Optionally, in some embodiments, in order to improve the rigidity of the first partition 3, the first partition 3 is arranged laterally and fixed to the two sides of the rear conveying arm 8 by the upper tightening surfaces 3-1 on both sides. In order to improve its rigidity, a plurality of grooves 3-2 are arranged longitudinally in its middle part.
[0061] Optionally, a second partition 16 is also included. The second partition 16 is disposed below the upper conveyor belt of the first conveyor belt 1, and its function is to improve the stability of the first conveyor belt 1 in conveying heavy objects. The second partition 16 is arranged longitudinally, and its front and rear ends are respectively fixed to the support plate 10 and the support plate 15. In order to improve its rigidity, a plurality of grooves 16-1 are arranged longitudinally in its middle part.
[0062] like Figures 9-20 As shown, the front conveying device 18 of the loading and unloading robot includes a device body, on which a conveyor belt assembly is mounted. Tensioning and clamping devices 39 are mounted on both sides of the conveyor belt assembly. The tensioning and clamping devices 39 on both sides work together to clamp and guide the cargo box. Figure 15 As shown, the tensioning clamping device 39 employs an electrically controlled telescopic assembly 40. The pressing plate 41 of the telescopic assembly 40 clamps and guides the cargo box. The telescopic assembly 40 is driven by a motor to extend and retract to the left and right, thereby extending and retracting the pressing plate 41, and thus achieving the clamping and guiding operation of the cargo box. In a specific implementation, the simplest structure is a telescopic rod (worm gear or hydraulic telescopic cylinder), with a pressing plate 41 at the end of the telescopic rod. The extension and retraction of the pressing plate 41 is controlled by the telescopic rod to achieve the clamping and guiding operation.
[0063] In this embodiment, as Figures 21-25 As shown, the tensioning clamping device 39 includes a power source assembly, a telescopic assembly 40, a pressing plate 41, and a fixing frame. The telescopic assembly 40 is composed of several telescopic plates, and two of the telescopic plates are hinged to form a V-shaped structural unit. The pressing plate 41 and the fixing frame are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the V-shaped structural unit. The power source assembly applies a torque in the front-back direction to the telescopic assembly, causing the V-shaped structural unit to expand or contract in the left-right direction. At the same time, by using the fixing frame as the fixed side, the pressing plate expands or contracts in the left-right direction. In a specific embodiment, the fixing frame can be configured as follows: the fixing frame has an overall Z-shaped structure, including a lower fixing part 46 and an upper connecting part 45. The lower fixing part 46 is provided with a fixing hole for connecting to the vehicle body of the loading and unloading robot. Figure 27 It can be clearly seen that this tensioning clamping device is fixed to both sides of the vehicle body (i.e., both sides of the conveyor belt) by the fixing frame as a whole; the upper connecting part 45 is provided with a connecting hole for connecting with the V-shaped structure unit.
[0064] like Figure 22As shown, the telescopic assembly includes a first V-shaped structural unit, a second V-shaped structural unit, a third V-shaped structural unit, and a guide plate 62. The guide plate 62 is provided with a guide limiting structure. In this embodiment, the guide limiting structure is a guide groove 58, which is arranged along the front-rear orientation of the guide plate. The first V-shaped structural unit consists of a first telescopic plate 49 and a second telescopic plate 63 arranged left-right. The hinge ends of the first telescopic plate 49 and the second telescopic plate 63 are connected by a first hinge rod 50, which is connected to the rear end of the guide plate 62. Figure 22 As can be seen in this embodiment, the guide plate 62 is provided once and is located at the top; the left and right sides of the other end of the first V-shaped structural unit are respectively connected to the extrusion plate 41 and the upper connecting part 45 of the fixing frame by hinge structures; in this embodiment, the hinge structure can be selected as follows: Figure 24 The hinge plate shown includes a rectangular plate body, with an upper U-shaped groove 53 and a U-shaped groove 67 on each of the upper and lower sides of the rectangular plate body; the upper and lower ends of the telescopic plate of the V-shaped structural unit are movably connected to the U-shaped grooves respectively via a rotating shaft 66. Figures 21-22 As shown, the rear end of the first telescopic plate 49 of the first V-shaped structural unit is connected to the upper connecting part 45 of the fixed frame by bolts 48 through the first hinge plate 47; while the rear end of the second telescopic plate 63 is connected to the rear side of the extrusion plate 41 through the second hinge plate 64.
[0065] The second V-shaped structural unit consists of a third telescopic plate 52 and a fourth telescopic plate 61 arranged left and right. The hinged ends of the third telescopic plate 52 and the fourth telescopic plate 61 are located on the rear end side, which adopts a second hinge rod 51. The upper end of the second hinge rod 51 is located in the lead groove 58 and can move in the front and rear directions within the lead groove 58. The front end of the third telescopic plate 52 is connected to the upper connecting part 45 of the fixed frame by bolts 55 through the third hinge plate 54. The front end of the fourth telescopic plate 61 is connected to the front of the extrusion plate 41 through the fourth hinge plate 60.
[0066] The third V-shaped structural unit consists of a fifth telescopic plate 56 and a sixth telescopic plate 59 arranged left and right. The hinged ends of the fifth telescopic plate 56 and the sixth telescopic plate 59 are located on the front end side, using a third hinge rod 57. The upper end of the third hinge rod 57 is connected to the front end of the guide plate 62. The rear end of the fifth telescopic plate 56 is connected to the upper connecting part 45 of the fixing frame via a third hinge plate 54. The rear end of the sixth telescopic plate 59 is connected to the front side of the extrusion plate 41 via a fourth hinge plate 60. Figure 22 and Figure 25It can be seen that in the embodiment, the third telescopic plate 52 and the fourth telescopic plate 61 of the second V-shaped structure unit and the fifth telescopic plate 56 and the sixth telescopic plate 59 of the third V-shaped structure unit form a parallelogram structure, which is beneficial to improve the stability, synchronism and consistency of the stretching.
[0067] Optionally, the power source assembly is arranged at the rear side of the telescopic assembly 40; the power source assembly comprises a rocker 42, a pull rod 65 and a motor 43; the motor 43 is a reduction stepper motor and is fixed to the vehicle body through a motor fixing frame 44; one end of the rocker 42 is connected with the power output shaft of the motor 43, and the other end is connected with the rear end of the pull rod 65 through a rotating shaft 69; the front end of the pull rod 65 is connected with the upper part of the first telescopic plate 49 through a rotating shaft 68.
[0068] The principle of the above scheme is as follows: first, the fixing frame is connected to the vehicle body as a fixed side; when the motor 43 rotates clockwise by a certain angle, for example, less than 180 degrees, the rocker 42 swings to the rear side by a certain angle, then pulls the pull rod 65, and the pull rod 65 exerts a force on the first telescopic plate 49 in the rear direction; at this time, because the connections of the three sites of the first V-shaped structure unit are all hinged, the middle site of the first V-shaped structure unit pulls the lead plate 62 to the rear, and the end point of the first telescopic plate 49 is connected with the fixing frame, which is the fixed side; at this time, the first V-shaped structure unit expands, which is manifested as the stretching of one side of the second telescopic plate 63; the pulling of the lead plate 62 to the rear is manifested as the compression of the front and rear sites of the parallelogram of the second V-shaped structure unit and the third V-shaped structure unit, and the fixing frame side is the fixed side, that is, fixed, which is further manifested as the expansion of one side of the extrusion plate 41; at this time, the extrusion plate 41 realizes the full-range extrusion of the goods moving on the conveying belt; if it is necessary to adjust the extrusion degree, the positive transmission and reversal of the motor 43 by a certain angle are controlled to adjust the extrusion force of the goods.
[0069] As Figure 27As shown, when applied, the tension clamping device is fixed to the left and right sides of the conveyor belt on the vehicle body of the loading and unloading robot, so as to realize the side pressure intervention on the moving goods (boxes) on the conveyor belt. For example, when unloading, the mechanical arm of the loading and unloading robot is relatively steep, and at this time the conveyor belt is also relatively steep. In order to ensure the safety of the loading and unloading process, the clamping action of the device needs to be exerted at this time, and the clamping action of the device and the conveying force of the conveyor belt are combined to form a combined force, so as to realize the safe unloading of high-position goods and safely convey the high-position goods to a low position. The structure adopted by the device can provide balanced clamping force during long-distance conveying, such as the length of the extrusion plate 41 can be about 3 meters. The device realizes the synchronous stretching and contraction of three units through the combination of the first V-shaped structure unit, the second V-shaped structure unit and the third V-shaped structure unit, ensures the balance of wide-range clamping, and ensures the smoothness, stability and safety of the whole goods conveying process, and has good use effect. When loading, stacking is needed, and the device can be used to adjust the position of the box relative to the left and right positions of the conveyor belt, that is, the box can be stacked in a row along the left or right side. Because, for example, the width of the front conveying device of the loading and unloading robot is relatively wide, when stacking is needed, the position of the box can be adjusted by the device arranged on the left and right sides, and then the box is pushed along the left or right side to realize standard stacking, which has good use effect.
[0070] As shown in Figure 9 , the middle position of the conveyor belt 19 of the conveyor belt assembly is provided with a give way groove 20, and a box poking rod 22 is movably arranged in the give way groove 20. The box poking rod 22 is driven by a synchronous belt 21 and can move back and forth above the conveyor belt 19 to assist the conveying of the box. In this embodiment, the box poking rod 22 adopts the following structure:
